"I see the potential for the development of a dialogue - 'in-between space' among various stakeholders and professions at the level of the democratic process, which will define what the transformation of the city should actually be.

Museum Shop MAO
July 1st, 2021
We recently completed a new design shop in the Museum of Architecture and Design in Ljubljana. The design is inspired by the idea behind the Superstudio's Continuous Monument project. With this in mind, we arranged the new shop with the use of "a single piece of architecture" – the continuous cabinet of curiosity that organizes and displays the museum's design products and publications.
